Hey man, just wanted to give you some words of encouragement. I'm 25 and have been in a similar situation for the past few years. Overworked, but not really with marketable skills in my field, sinking company, poor morale, no raises, the whole 9 yards.

Don't be afraid to get on LinkedIn and start sending resumes around. You're doing the work of 3 people, including senior employees, so really write down what you do and accomplish day-to-day.

Companies are starting to hire again, and just yesterday I got an offer with a growing company outside my current field for a position I thought I wasn't qualified for when I applied. They liked that my resume and interview showed that I
a)Could obviously learn new skills and pick things up quickly
b) Was willing to try to learn and throw myself in to new challenges
c) Was articulate and had "energy."

Even if you're miserable, sell yourself like you're super excited for new challenges and to grow. Speak positively about all the "responsibility" you have at your current job, but that you want to be in a more successful field for the sake of your long-term goals.

You'll be ok. Send applications everywhere and something will stick. Good luck!

While that's true, I don't think it excuses being mean to the ordinary people he's meeting.

I know Anthony struggles with mental health issues, but at the same time self awareness is important, especially for a star. Meeting him was a big deal to those average Joes and they were going to be on a major television show. He is more than allowed to be honest about having no fun and not enjoying the dishes - I like that because it's real. But don't mock and embarrass your hosts. That's rude in every corner of the world he's so lucky to get to see.

I loved Parts Unknown and I can't wait to see this. I just don't like to see people picked on for opening up and showing him exactly what he came to see. Know what I mean?

I understand, but I don't think anything the public says or does matters at this point. It's all $$$. Trust me, I'd love for this to be denied as much as anyone, but when was the last time public opinion beat corporate lobbying?

Don't invest in penny stocks. If you can't do weighted averages, you probably aren't very good at math and these are not good investments. Find the personal finance or investing subreddits and read the information on the side bar on how to start learning about investing. If you play with these, you're gambling and the odds are not in your favor.

My first investment after saving money was NOT what you should do. After I graduated high school, I had about 10k in "life savings" that I wanted to put into the market. I bought mutual funds with much higher expense ratios than I should have, simply because I had no idea that expense ratios mattered. I diversified globally and bought all at once..... in the beginning of 2008.

The next couple years were really hard to watch. I kept thinking how much more money I would have if I just buried all that money in the ground.
